Barons Use Late-Game Magic to Beat Talons, 5-2
The Winchester Barons picked up a win at Talons Grounds, dropping the Sheffield Talons, 5-2. Mateo de la Cruz, who is tied for 7th in the BFE&W in strikeouts with 191, was the difference-maker. In 9 innings, de la Cruz surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 3. He allowed 2 runs. The second-place Barons are 66-50.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Maurice Smith? The 34-year old right fielder Smith stroked a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put Winchester up, 4-2. For the game, he was 2 for 2, including 1 double and 1 single.

"Mateo did a really nice job of taking the ball and giving us a chance to win the game," said Winchester manager Fabricio Bravo.
